ITV confirms 'Married, Single, Other' axe

Married, Single, Other has been axed after just one series, it has been confirmed by ITV.

Earlier this year, the romantic dramedy - which starred Ralf Little and Lucy Davis - only averaged a modest 4.3 million viewers over its six-episode run.

"ITV won't be commissioning a second series of Married Single Other. This has been a tough decision as it brought warmth and wit to our drama slate. The cast, the writing and the production were all superb," a spokesperson announced.

"However, the overall audience fell short of what we need to deliver at 9pm and, regretfully, we've had to make space for new titles."

This comes despite a Facebook campaign to bring the show back for a second series, as well as a whirl of support on the DS forums.

Yesterday, Amanda Abbington - who played Babs on the program - revealed the broadcaster's decision on Facebook.
